I Painted Mark McDermott at Epoch Coffee

This is my only attempt at painting at night. It is very hard!

OK, I cheated a little bit. I asked if I could paint him. I painted him at Epoch at night, causing all sorts of value/color and lighting problems. I have only asked to paint someone once before, and I sucked so badly that I promised that I wouldn’t do it again. But, this face, with the chiseling and porcelain singing through, and that black hair of the Black Irish, I couldn’t resist.
